COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL and ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

Course Selection Guide: CIVIL major

for students entering the College of Engineering in fall 1996 and after including ABET 2000 Guidelines

The Civil Engineering undergraduate curriculum incorporates the State of Florida mandated requirements, University requirements, and the requirements of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This guide has been designed to assist students in selecting courses to meet the above requirements. The brochure is divided into two sections: general education requirements and department requirements. More information on requirements in both areas can be found in the undergraduate catalogs from each university (FAMU: General Catalog, FSU: General Bulletin). In addition, students are required by the department to consult with their advisors at least once each semester.

Part I: General Education Course Requirements and Electives

First time in college and transfer students with less than 60 hours who have not met all general education requirements of their previous institution (as indicated on the student's transcript of accepted courses by FAMU or FSU) must meet all of the requirements outlined below. For these students, the same course may not be applied to more than one area of the program of studies.

FSU students must also meet the multicultural component of the liberal studies requirements. At least six of the credit hours required in the history, social sciences or humanities areas must be multicultural in focus. Three hours must focus on cross-cultural studies (x), and three must address diversity in Western experience (y). Suitable courses are indicated in the Directory of Classes, the General Bulletin, and in the following lists with an x or y. FSU students must also meet the Literature

Mathematics. The requirements in this area are met with calculus and engineering math courses required by the department. These courses are listed in Part II, department requirements.

English composition. Students must complete at lease six hours in English composition.

Required Elective (choose one)

FAMU: ENC 1101 ENC 1102

FSU: ENC 1101 or 1121 ENC 1101, 1102, 1121, 1122, 1142, 1144, 1145, or HIS 1003

History/Social Science. Students must show depth and breadth in social sciences by taking two courses from the same subject area and an additional course from another subject area for a total of nine credits. (For example, a student might take U.S. History, World History, and Psychology or Sociology, Psychology, and History of World War II.) FAMU students must take AMH 2091, African American History. The list below shows prefixes, which are generally considered to be in the same subject area. Not all courses with these prefixes will satisfy the social science requirement. The university, advisor and department chair have final approval on whether a course fulfills the above requirements.

Required course in the senior year. A capstone senior level design course is required that integrates the knowledge gained in undergraduate mathematics, science, and design courses. Students complete a team-based design project covering several sub-disciplines in civil engineering.

CGN 4802 Civil and Environ. Senior Design Project (3) 3 senior standing in civil engineering

or CES 4702 Concrete Design. If the student selects Steel Design to fulfill the

Civil Engineering Science and Design requirements, the student may use

Concrete Design as a structures elective and vice versa.

Electives. Students must select courses to supplement the required civil engineering courses and to specialize the degree program to suit individual student objectives. The list below shows the electives that may be chosen to satisfy the course list on page 6. This list is subject to changes. Consult your advisor for the latest information.
